Related Items field template? was created by lipatovroman

Hi!
Usually I can duplicate any field template file and use it in field settings.
Is it possible to do same with Related Items field?

Explain.
I have Chrome for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.

On the page Chrome for Windows I want to displays block:

See also Chrome for other OS:
Chrome for macOS, Chrome for Android, Chrome for iOS.

And same for other pages.

I going to use Relation field for this.

So, I need to edit template for this field (insert categories using this method - www.flexicontent.org/forum/20-general-su...egory-from-item.html )

Hello

most fields have layouts,
related items does not have,

but it has an HTML parameter, you can almost achieve the same results using this parameter
(surely a layout file could do a some more)

is it not enough ? what is missing that can not be done ?

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hi!
As I wrote, I need to add parent category name for each related item.

I had an idea to add your code from another topic .

Code:

$catshelper = new flexicontent_cats($cid);
$parents    = $catshelper->getParentlist($all_cols=false);

if ( count($parents)>=3 )
{
  $cat = $parents[ count($parents) - 3 ];
  $cat_icon = '........';
  echo '<a title="'.$cat->title.'" href="'.JRoute::_( FlexicontentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($cat->slug) ).'">'.$cat_icon .'</a>'
}

And I can't...

Hello

right, we cannot do this with the HTML parameter
we need a layout file

it is almost enough to cioy the PHP code of the helper method
into a layout file

I have added a milestone to it but that maybe pushed a little later, we will see:
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/issues/649

v3.1.0 is finished and will not risk breaking anything in it now, just a couple of more fixes for it and it will be released

Hi!
Waiting template option for this field.

And have new question for this field (not to create new topic)

Very hard to find related items.

I think already selected items should be marked (like in files or images list).
